That girl, that
special girl. The clichéd ‘One Who Got Away’ except she didn’t get away. She
was stolen from me.

We started off as
neighbours but quickly turned into something more. In what felt like a blink of
an eye, I found myself in love and then boom. She was gone.

After that, my life
went down a dark and lonely trail. I joined the club my parents ran from and kept
my heart shut off from everyone, never entertaining the thought of a
relationship. If I couldn’t have her, I didn’t want anyone.

I’ve been in love and
have been loved but all too soon it was stolen from me. More accurately, I was
stolen from it and my life hasn’t been the same since.

To an outsider, I had
it all: money, nice house, friends, anything a seventeen-year-old could want,
but inside I was dying. I hated my life with my parents until him and I hate
the life I’m forced to live now but I just can’t bring myself to end it. Not if
there is a possibility that he is out there and that one day I might have the
chance to see him again.

What happens when
Nancy and Bennett are reunited once again?

Will Nancy’s past
ruin the still present chemistry between them or is it already too late?

Will Bennett be able
to see past her secret and find a way to forgive Nancy?

Muriel Garcia
was born and raised in Belgium. She started writing a little over a year ago
and never thought she would ever publish; reading and writing weren’t her
favorite things to do in high school.

After one of
her friends gave her a challenge – the next time they would attend a book
signing, she would be a signing author (it did happen!) – she started to take
writing a lot more seriously and never looked back. She’s enjoyed every second
of it and the friends she’s made along the way.

She loves music, tattoos—especially on hot men,
traveling, and cooking. She has always had an overly imaginative and creative
mind but never thought of putting words to paper. Now she couldn’t imagine not
writing stories that are near and dear to her heart.
